Ok, with a little problem solving and help from Brett I am able to get some pics out there.

That is one great looking glove. Check out http://www.baseballglovecollector.com. in the picture gallery. There may be more Olympian brand gloves. I don't know much about Olympian brand. They were probably manufactured by Denkert Sporting Goods and given the private label brand of "Olympian" and in the case of your glove, marketed and distributed by Firestone Tire Co. I really like the triple tunnel web and the super markings in the pocket. Great find!

Here's a photo of my Olympian Carl Furillo glove. It's not a Firestone, but it's a pretty clean glove in great condition.
